Ranking Richard Linklaters best films

Richard Linklater is a modern filmmaker who can already be ranked amongst the greats. His keen eye for relationship drama and his ability to bring the audience back to a time and place through atmosphere alone builds films that feel timeless. This means that it caused quite a dilemma in the TYF crew in picking out what films constituted as his best, but we’ve narrowed it down to eight that exemplify what makes him such a talent. Picked via a poll for the site’s writers, I’m immensely pleased with our number one (my personal favorite of the bunch), mildly surprised by the second and surprised about where Boyhood ranked overall.
